The president is clearly insane, is on a white supremacist government purging spree, has masked men in the streets abducting people based on their race, is trying to start a war with Venezuela, and is tanking the economy, and none of that would be apparent just going by most corporate news outlets

It's now obvious Kristi Noem has ordered her Assault Teams to Target Religious Leaders & Places of Worship.
The Maga Regime have decided Religious Worship poses a threat to their Leader's control. They are going after Priests and Churches!
Our Freedom of Religion must survive Maga's Intimidation 😡

South Florida…as each year, this week brings drier, cooler weather. Bright sunny day (first in weeks!). Blue sky! Temps in high 70s-low 80s (though at 7 AM it was 71. Days like this make 6 months of summer tolerable!!😅

The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.
